657:, and the potted history of that proposed (and accepted, in one sense) name that would have likely supplanted red-capped parrot if the research had been done previously. There is a link to the paper in that article on what Abbott did on bird names, and the introduction goes into great details about methods and materials. What happened, in southwest Australia, is that committees were formed to create names that suppressed the extant names that were entering the language through their common use. This was very deliberate, like the IOC does for the most reactionary group of naturalists of today, bird watchers (no offense). The results and publications of these choices were immediately contentious, and those coining names like, I'm guessing, banded anteater were met with indignation from someone who had published another satisfactorily non-indigenous name, marsupial hedgehog or whatever; no one was regularising the orthography and pronunciation of existing names despite many authors since Gould (birds, mammals) noting the names.

Firstly, I blended discussion of
Sunbird's reverts with those less thoughtful, sincere apologies are extended to that respected contributor. I have opened a discussion on that addition to WP:Lead, and cannot claim I was unaware of it. I was myself being tendentious, making a point, in adding italic

I can be reverted with edit summaries, but expected to raise it on the talk if I want to change the article, eh? … I am reverted without edit summaries, then tendentiously noted as having added information without a citation. The citation is in the article … are you guys new here? Well, no, just
583:, "Although official, scientific, birth, original, or trademarked names are often used for article titles, the term or name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred.", that can mean something to a gut feeling interpretation, "use English " or it can be applied with the RS.
503:
In normal
English usage, mammal names such as dog, cat, elephant, tiger and panda are not capitalized. When part of the name comes from a proper noun, that part is capitalized, like Asian elephant, Siberian tiger, English terrier. Does anyone have an objection to decapitalizing "numbat"?
455:
Answer: The red fox eats the numbats. It is believed that numbats are most vulnerable to foxes in habitats where there aren't many logs for them to hide in (ie deserts). The foxes are able to dig them out of burrows but it's harder for them to get to numbats that can shelter in logs.

to the title and emboldened name. The phrasing about Abbott's research and recommendations is perhaps awkward, but I think more so if one has a head-canon on what does and does not qualify as
English. A similar entry occurs at

When a common (vernacular) name is used as the article title, the boldfaced common name is followed by the italic un-boldfaced scientific name in round parentheses in the opening sentence of the lead.

The orthography and pronunciation of the
Nyungar name is regularised, following a survey of published sources and contemporary consultation that resulted in the name noombat, pronounced noom'bat.
